Crispy Air-Fryer Broccoli

My poor air-fryer has been in storage and I just rediscovered it. My new apartment doesn’t have a real oven (insert crying face here), only a convection oven in the microwave. So, I feel like I need to make the air-fryer my new best friend. I love it because it doesn’t just air-fry, it bakes/roasts too!

The broccoli comes out perfectly crisp in only 12 minutes – like you’ve been roasting to perfection for 30-45 minutes!

I couldn’t find my particular air-fryer (maybe it discontinued?!), but here and here are two top-rated options!

Instructions

1. Wash and cut the broccoli into florets. If you have a great recipe for the stems - use em' at another time!
2. Add broccoli into the air-fryer basket. Do NOT overcrowd. If it can't all fit, don't force it. You want it to crisp evenly.
3. Spray broccoli with olive oil spray. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Insert the basket and roast at 370 F for 12 minutes (if your air-fryer allows you to go to 375 F, go for it).
